Zimbabwe produced one of the greatest upsets in T20WC history on 13 February, defeating tournament favourites Australia by 18 runs at the R. Premadasa Stadium in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026. Defending a competitive total of 169, the Zimbabwean bowling attack, led by Blessing Muzarabani and Brad Evans, dismantled the Australian top order to secure their second consecutive win in Group B, and helped the African nation maintain their unbeaten record against Australia in the T20 WC. Matt Renshaw did provide resistance, scoring 65, but failed to find support from other batters. Opting to bat first, Zimbabwe posted 169/2 thanks to a mature performance from young opener Brian Bennett, who scored an unbeaten 64. Australia vs Zimbabwe Highlights, T20 World Cup 2026 Match 19.
